Forgiven & Forgotten

I'm currently reading the book "God Came Near" by Max Lucado. Let me tell you..it's super good! So often do we forget that Jesus was a normal human being just like me and you! He awoke each morning, wiping the gunk outta his eyes. He faced temptations day in and day out. He went to sleep each night and had dreams. The only difference was that He was God in human form. Key word: HUMAN. Anyway, this isn't the point of this post. Just wanted to point out how this book personifies Jesus..and I love it <3

Chapter 19 of the book is called "He Forgot". It's a short chapter that talks about how God not only forgives our sins..He also forgets!

"For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12)


YES that is our FATHER talking about US!!! We sin every day, and as long as we ask for forgiveness, they shall be forgotten?! YES!!

I know I have an entire closet of skeletons representing past sins. So many times I've felt unworthy of certain things in life due to what I've done. The truth? Christ set me free. In Him, I am able to do anything, because He washed me white as snow. He made me new. Those skeletons in my closet weighing me down are Satan's LIES!! They are Satan's lies in your life too.

Don't let doubts that Satan plants hold you back. Remember that with God, anything and everything is possible. Surrender your life, pray for His will to be done in your life, and watch the impossible happen!

I <3 God.
